Mysterious Revival-Chapter 603 - 600 Departure

Chapter 603 -600 Departure

Yang Jian really didn’t die!

In front of Ping’an Tower, as Yang Jian and Fang Shiming both fell from the high-rise building and then stood up again moments later, the scene was transmitted back to headquarters.

Some were thrilled, some were dumbstruck, but even more people felt uneasy.

“He’s actually still alive? How is this possible? It was clear before that his head had been…”

A team leader couldn’t help but stand up abruptly, but before he could finish his sentence, he realized something and hastily sat down again, his face as unsightly as could be.

“He must have discovered the truth, that’s why he appeared at Ping’an Tower. He’s there to personally dismantle the entire circle of friends. Looking at the situation now, it seems that the only person left from the circle of friends is Fang Shiming.”

...

“Those two started fighting there, it looks like they are fighting to the death.”

Shen Liang glanced at the several team leaders, then reminded them, “The key isn’t how he fares against Fang Shiming, but what should we do now that Yang Jian is still alive? If the situation blows up, who can bear the consequences and the impact?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell into silence.

The unease in their hearts stemmed from this very concern.

“I will deal with Yang Jian’s matter, as for your mistakes, I can’t handle them. But for the greater good, you all should resign, including the deputy directors,” Wang Xiaoming said, without mincing words.

Everyone is suggested to resign?

“Professor Wang, this might not be appropriate. Although we did make some mistakes, given the situation at the time, what we did wasn’t wrong and everyone agreed on it. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have temporarily compromised with the circle of friends,” a team leader tried to explain.

Wang Xiaoming said calmly, “If compromising with Yang Jian for the greater good was acceptable, then why can’t you compromise for the greater good now? If you still want to argue, go talk to Yang Jian. I’m not listening.”

That team leader was immediately at a loss for words, feeling uncomfortable with the words stuck in his throat, but couldn’t find any reason to argue.

Reason with Yang Jian?

What a joke. The current Yang Jian was mad with killing. An ordinary person standing in front of him and shouting a few times would probably vanish from this world instantly. Who knew how much reason he had left when his anger was at its peak.

Seeing the atmosphere turn slightly awkward, Shen Liang immediately changed the subject, “Professor Wang, Yang Jian and Fang Shiming are both still alive and it looks like they will continue to fight. Should we intervene? Or should we help Yang Jian? Team leaders Li Jun and Cao Yang are both at the scene, along with many other staff members.”

“Let them continue, no need to help,” said Wang Xiaoming.

“If we don’t stop it, no matter who dies, the impact will be substantial,” the team leader who had spoken earlier hesitated before speaking again.

Wang Xiaoming looked at him and furrowed his brow slightly, “With your current IQ, there are some things that are very hard for me to explain to you.”

Meanwhile.

At the entrance of Ping’an Tower.

Yang Jian’s battered body had roughly healed after the Headless Ghost Shadow’s reassembly, and the curse of the Eight-Tone Music Box’s tolling continued to resound in his mind, a state that could sustain him to keep fighting.

But Fang Shiming couldn’t.

He could already tell that if Fang Shiming fought like before, he would likely experience the revival of a malevolent ghost.

However, Fang Shiming no longer intended to continue the fight against Yang Jian.

The situation was off, the context was wrong.

He had realized that Yang Jian was different from normal ghost controllers; his condition was surprisingly good after fighting for so long, seemingly without the risk of a ghost revival. Honestly, this was his first encounter with such an anomaly.

“Let’s stop here for today. I don’t want to fight meaninglessly with you anymore. Although there are some things I don’t want to admit, it seems my circle of friends has lost this time. Your goal has been achieved; the circle of friends will likely disband after today,” Fang Shiming said warily.

Yang Jian replied coldly, “Killing you is what will truly end the circle of friends. You still have one ghost left unused. Try it now and see if you can finish me off.”

“Your current state is very unusual; you don’t seem to fear death at all.”

Fang Shiming slowly started to back away, “Although I don’t know the reason, experience tells me that you can’t maintain this state for long. So, I won’t waste any more time on you. And you shouldn’t waste your time on me either, because I won’t continue this fight.”

“I’m leaving, and I believe that you can’t stop me. The situation just now proved that you don’t have any other means to finish me off. The only way to kill me is to drag me to death.”

“But I won’t give you that opportunity.”

Having said this, a chilling wind began to sweep around Fang Shiming, dispersing even the Ghost Domain.

This was him using the power of the malevolent ghost to prepare for his retreat.

“Use the sixth layer of the Ghost Domain once more.”

Yang Jian didn’t hesitate for a moment, intent on leaving Fang Shiming behind, continuing the assault to let him perish from his own ghostly resurgence. After all the struggles, there was no way he was going to let him off that easily.

But at this moment, the chime of the Eight-Tone Music Box in his mind caused a disturbance.

His Ghost Eye couldn’t stack six layers or forcibly pause everything around him, including ghosts, like he had done before.

Could he only activate the six-layer Ghost Domain once in such a short time span?

Yang Jian’s expression changed slightly as he realized his own limits had been reached.

The curse of the Eight-Tone Music Box could only sustain to this extent; if he continued, the degree of the ghostly resurgence would surpass the curse, and at that time, the Undying Curse of the music box would fail, and he himself would die directly from the ghostly resurgence.

In the midst of a brief hesitation,

Fang Shiming vanished, leaving the Ghost Domain and quickly disappearing from Yang Jian’s sight, unwilling to continue the fight. Of course, part of it was also the fear that other people would get involved in this incident, a situation that was not in his favor.

“He left decisively.”

Yang Jian didn’t chase him; he knew without activating the six-layer Ghost Domain, he couldn’t keep him from leaving. Besides, this guy also had a Ghost Domain, though not as powerful as his own, but certainly capable of ensuring his own retreat was without issues.

So now he just stood there, watching Fang Shiming leave with a gloomy expression.

“Fang Shiming is gone? He sneaked away?” The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief at this scene.

The consequences of two top exorcists continuing to fight were unpredictable, and an ending like this was preferable.

The friend circle was gone, Yang Jian was not dead, and although Fang Shiming ran off, it didn’t matter, at least the situation was under control and hadn’t deteriorated to an unsalvageable extent.

“Yang Jian probably wasn’t completely confident that he could kill Fang Shiming, otherwise, he wouldn’t have just watched him leave,” Guo Fan spoke; “That’s it for today, and that’s good for us, we can go home after work. Tomorrow we still have to continue searching for the Ghost Paintings.”

“If you don’t want to die, shut up,” Yang Jian said, turning to glance at him upon hearing his words.

“Hey, Yang Jian, I’m just telling the truth. The impact you caused this time is too big. Think about how you’re going to explain it to headquarters,” Guo Fan said, but before he finished, he was pulled aside by Zong Shan, who hurriedly covered his mouth.

Zong Shan whispered, “Are you insane? Yang Jian is obviously not in a right state right now. If you anger him, he might kill anyone. Do you really think the headquarters can still restrain him?”

Guo Fan looked at the others; everyone kept silent, no one daring to point out Yang Jian’s wrongs. He instantly realized the gravity of the situation, his face immediately stiffening.

Indeed, a person on the verge of a ghostly resurgence was capable of anything.

Although Yang Jian’s condition was unclear, he had just eliminated the entire friend circle of exorcists, and after the clash with Fang Shiming, there was no doubt his condition would be very bad.

“Fang Shiming doesn’t want to fight anymore, wants to hide and save his life? Can he really hide? I’m determined to kill that guy,” Yang Jian proclaimed as his Ghost Eye opened once again.

Everything was once more cloaked in red light.

The roads and streets became desolate again, and all the pedestrians and vehicles around vanished without a trace.

Yang Jian strode forward, his form gradually disappearing, his Ghost Domain covering nearly half the city was rapidly moving.

“Yang Jian, what are you going to do?” Li Jun’s face changed drastically, as he urgently called out.

Yang Jian did not reply; he had already disappeared from everyone’s sight, and at the same time, the Ghost Domain was also rapidly moving away from the urban area, forming a trail of red light flickering in the distant black night. In just one or two seconds, it could no longer be seen, the Ghost Domain surpassing everyone’s line of sight, with no indication of where it was headed.

“Yang Jian has made up his mind to kill Fang Shiming; he won’t give up. He must have thought of some method and decided to go through with it,” Cao Yang analyzed calmly. “But for him to use the power of the ghost so recklessly, it’s clear he no longer cares about his own condition. He wants to get this done before the resurgence of the ghost.”

“At this point, not even Jesus can stop him, anyone who tries will die. We should be grateful that Yang Jian didn’t lay his hands on us just now. If he were the type to lean towards destruction, this city would be completely doomed today, including us.”

Li Jun then said, “Yang Jian knows the distinction between gratitude and grudges. On matters of great right and wrong, he does not make mistakes. Don’t forget, he resolved the Hungry Ghost incident. My only concern is that in his rush to kill Fang Shiming, he might sacrifice himself, which would be a huge loss for headquarters. I don’t want to see that outcome.”

“Su Fan, can you predict where Yang Jian went?”

Finally, he asked this question.

Su Fan shook her head; “I don’t know. I only know he headed south. With the range of his Ghost Domain, he could circle the Earth in a few minutes; he could be anywhere by this time.”

“South? He might have gone back to Dachang City,” Li Jun speculated.

Cao Yang continued, “No need to guess. He’ll come back soon. How long can he live in that state? Yang Jian will act while he is alive, so this departure won’t delay him for too long.”

Li Jun’s face was grave, focused only on sorting out the current situation.

The disappearance of the friend circle, the impact of the event, the action regarding Ghost Paintings… there was still much to do.

“I’ll report this to headquarters. You handle things here,” Cao Yang said, seeing Li Jun’s worries, and turned to leave with a few other exorcists, ready to handle different tasks.
